Certificate distribution

[Uwe Kuehne]

Hello NG,

our company uses an access-application. We use Access 2003, so everytime we
start this application, we are asked whether to allow the start, or not (due
to the Office security settings).
Now, we could set the security settings to "lowest", which we don't want (we
use the "medium" settings); but for certain applications, we don't want to
be asked at all.
I tried user-certificates, but there isn't any mechanism to distribute them
on the client-pcs.
How can we handle this case?


Thank you in advance for your support,

kind regards from Germany,

Uwe

A really easy solution (whiCh not many people sEem to know about), is
to us the AutomationSecuity property. This lets you run a specified
database at Low macro security level, /without/ changing the macro
security level of the whole PC, /without/ using a certificate, and
/without/ doing any registry or other hacks.

For more information, google group: microsoft.public.access.security
for posts from me (TC) containing the word "automationsecurity".

HTH,

Unfortunately they must have been posted prior to 10th November, so have
been dropped from the server.

No, I can see them all right now. Just go to groups.google.com and
enter:

automationsecurity createobject
group:microsoft.public.access.security author:tc

Hi TC,

thank you very much for your hint.
It seems to work fine with us, so we can work with our solutions now.

Kind regards from over here,

Glad that it works. It is a waaaaaaay simpler solution that digital
certifictes IMHO.

Yes, you're right.
I wrote a small .NET-console-Application, that reads some Office-Progs from
an XML-File and starts the selected one without the security question.
The users are satisfied with it

have a nice weekend,

kind regards,

Uwe
